The medley is from the stage musical, “Wicked”. It is the backstory to the Wizard of Oz. Rachel Potter is Elphaba, who becomes the Wicked Witch of The West,; Emoni Wilkins is Glinda, the good witch; Jeff is the Wizard and the others play various roles. This is one of Voiceplays greatest videos.

I haven't seen this Broadway Play either, even though it came to a theater very close to me, I just didn't have the money or means at the time. I am familiar with these songs and they did a phenomenal job. One reactor I saw recently said that looking at the lead singer is what a well trained theatrical performer does. It was a reaction to an A Capella group, but I don't remember which one.

I appreciate your reactions so much; your love for and knowledge of music, and your love for the artists come out every time! I would like to suggest Carry On Wayward Son featuring Omar Cardona (of Voctave) and Go the Distance featuring E J Cardona (Omar's brother). Also for theater, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, for sheer beauty Can't Help Falling in Love. For Geoff, his latest Shenandoah, and if you aren't tired of Christmas, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Thanx again!

I love you videos and true excitement you have towards the music you hear. My family is originally from Madrid Spain and they moved to Texas in the early 1900’s. Keep it up.👍👍👍👍

Thanks for your reaction! Emoni has sung with them a number of times in the past - most recent was The Bones after Earle left. It's a stunner, you should check it out.

The second to last song in this medley is "For Good". It is a fantastic friendship love song, usually as a duet. Most of the time when I watch a video of it live, it ends in a hug. I recommend finding live performances of it.

i know the standard take is that Rachel has a Disney voice.....i just think of her voice is overwhelmingly sweet

If it makes you feel better I have never seen the musical either. But this video inspired me to checkout the music to it. Personally I think Voiceplay did a better job on some of the songs than the original artists did

I have not seen Wicked, but I read it years ago. It is the Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West’s point of view. She is the outcast due to her green skin and allergy to water. Glinda is her sister and very popular. She is a bit of a mean girl and after they bond for a while eventually she and Elphaba split. Gravity is Elphaba’s song of self- acceptance.

You may enjoy the movie the Wonderful Wizard Of Oz (James Franco, Mila Kunis) is not a musical, but gives the back story to the Wizard of Oz an origin story.

I never got to see Wicked didn't know the songs either. So this is the standard for me. I feel like if I ever get to see the show I'm going to be comparing it to VoicePlay!

In germany they also translate the songs of the musicals. It is for people who are not fluent in english. Musical is theater with many songs and if you don't understand the songtext you miss a lot of the story. And in a musical theatre you don't have subtitles like in a movie. If I don't know the original I have no problems with translated song. There are only a few musicals I prefer listening to original like The Rocky Horror Show, Jesus Christ Superstar or Cats.

Too bad the volume on the video was so low. Could barely hear it.
